Cardiac mechanical efficiency in patients with cardiogenic shock.

European heart journal. Acute cardiovascular care·July 22, 2026·PMID 42484289

Why it matters

Early echocardiographic assessment of cardiac mechanical efficiency provides a simple, bedside metric that captures the interplay between ventricular remodeling and performance, helping to identify high-risk CS patients who may benefit from closer monitoring or more aggressive support.
